“My wife Ana is unhappy with our lifestyle in Manchester but I am not going to change my mind as I am happy with the team and Manchester and the club’s ambition for next season,” said Vidic. “I got offers from Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid and I played a very honest game – I disclosed all these offers to my boss Sir Alex. He reacted quickly. I was told he was raising my pay to bring it to the level where my reputation is in the Premier League and Europe. After Milan and Real Madrid made their offers Barcelona came in – they wanted to pay £30million for my services but after Sir Alex’s move, I am definitely staying in Manchester until my contract expires in 2012. I don’t care that I will still not be paid as much as my good friends Rio Ferdinand or Wayne Rooney but I guess I will be at the same level as Berbatov or Carrick.”

Vidic had a poor game against Liverpool, which other game did he play bad? Yes he let Eto slip past him too easily, but which other defender could have stopped him? Rio letting midget Messi a clear header was a bigger sin

I'm happy Vidic has decided to step up and pledge his immediate future to united. I do think in this day and age it's too much to ask to for a player to look past his contract, if he will pledge to 2012 that's much better than what ronaldo did (obviously). On his wife: what the fucking hell is up with all these people and weather. I've looked at the average temperatures for Manchester and while it's not exactly always beach weather, it's NOT THAT BAD. I mean come on people (vida's wife/ ronaldo), is 15 degrees warmer weather worth not winning shit. To be a part of Manchester United is not like being apart of shieffield united or some other scrub team. You have the ability to be a part of one of the greastest teams in all of sports and you would rather shit that away. It's unfathomable.

King Eric - totally agree mate, what is that guy on? Ramos?? that cunt looked out of his depth against the USA and was at fault for their second goal. Vida is class and it's pleasing to hear him say he is staying despite his wifes unhappiness.

willierednut - unfortunately Vida's almost perfect season was undone by his uncharacteristic bad performances against the dippers. Just one of those things mate, hopefully he'll put that right next season and mark that tranny cunt Torres out of both league games, like Rio did the season before last.
